US President Barack Obama has postponed a
Congress vote on military action in Syria, vowing to pursue diplomacy to remove
the regime's chemical weapons.
Damascus has admitted for the first time that it has chemical weapons,
and has agreed to abide by a Russian plan to hand over its arsenal.
Wow another western
leader with egg on his face over his handling of the situation in Syria, the
other obviously being David Cameron, who now looks even more stupid because
after losing a Commons vote on military action he spent the entire G20 summit
essentially lobbying for military action.
Instead its Russia’s
diplomatic solution that has won the day here, could this set a precedent for
future crises in countries like Syria with Russia taking the lead and the US,
U.K. and other western powers taking a back seat?
It’s hard to say at this stage
but if the Russian plan proves to be a success it could happen.
